Taste of Eastern Europe via Adams Morgan

May 21, 2010 by Leave a comment



Next time visiting Adams Morgan, you got to check out the new hot place called, Slaviya. I’ve already been there twice and both times, it was a blast.

The joint is a bar, lounge, restaurant, and could be a night club. Their food, the ambiance, and music are awesome! Their menu is a nice fusion of various Southern Eastern European cuisines, with a few exotic dishes that the chef probably invented himself. Read more of this post

DC For Haiti – Special Event @ Lima Lounge, The Second Heaven

January 20, 2010 by Leave a comment

There will be a special event at Lima restaurant, one of my favorite places in DC for Haiti tomorrow January 21, 2010 from 6:00 p.m till 10:00 p.m. Please attend and help those in desperate need. Monetary donations suggested but canned food and clothing also accepted. Proceeds and donations will directly benefit the relief effort in Haiti.

Guest speakers are planned. Agencies contacted/represented at the event include:

- Embassy of Haiti
- Inter-American Development Bank
- Organization of American States
- Pan-American Health Organization
- World Bank
- Democracy Now
- International Relief and Development
- Oxfam
- Direct Relief International

Event format will be to have various open dialogues explaining each organizations role in Haiti, what is needed now, what will be needed in the future, as well as a Q&A session on how people can become more involved.

Speaking of Lima,  I have been going there one or twice a week past three years or so. I have always had a blast in the place. Lima is a bar, restaurant, lounge, and one of the best nightclub in DC. It is a great place to eat and party. I have never really met anyone that did not enjoy Lima.

In a nutshell:

. The mango mojitos…or any of their mojitos…yum! Be sure to get a pitcher because you’ll want to keep drinking.

. Their food – specially their Cuban chicken is fantastic. Also, their shrimp ceviche experience. BELLISSIMO !

. Their laid back and the sidewalk patio on a beautiful day…you must visit for happy hour in the spring. But be sure to get there early because it gets packed.

. And of course, my favorite, the crowd. To me, Lima is another heaven on earth – to be more specific, another heaven in DC. Everyone is beautiful there – even the dudes. As always, my digital camera was on fire :-)

Forget Paris! Forget NYC! Forget Moscow! It’s Washington DC! Yeah Baby Yeah!

I have been a Washingtonian since 1985. I have never seen so many new night clubs popping out in every corner of DC like this. It totally feels like the rise of Obama administration has attracted a large number of young people from all over the nation and the world to our Capital. DC has become such a young city, not that it wasn’t before, it has just become even younger. Not to mention the insane ratio of women to men. You can easily notice seven women for one man in DC. No complain :-)

There is a new happening place just opened in Dupont Circle two blocks from where I live. It’s called Lounge One , and it is AWESOME! The place is a bar, lounge, restaurant, and you could say a night club. I went there last night for the first time. OMG! It was raining women :-) Referring to my previous post about the Mullah’s preach, death, and sex with seventy two virgins in heaven, they should have called this place “Heaven One” . Why traveling all the way up there with no return flight? The real heaven is right here in Dupont Circle :-)

I had never seen so many beautiful women in one club like this. It was too much to handle. It was insane. Men were slaughtered left and right! I shall call it The Mecca of the Night Clubs. It was packed with just unbelievably gorgeous and sensational women. I think they must have had a “Hot Models Only” sign at the door.

The ceiling is not that high, but the layout, the dynamics, and the atmosphere are so cozy, modern, and fantastic. You can tell I had a blast with my digital camera :-) Even my camera could not handle the heat:

Lima Rocks!!! my new hang out place

December 5, 2009 by Leave a comment

I found a new club in the heart of DC a few months ago called Lima, right at the corner of 14 & K Streets a few blocks away from the White house. Wow! What a place! Music, food and the set up were all awesome. The chicks were of course super gorgeous!

I’d say the ratio of chicks to dudes on a regular night at Lima is usually 2 to 1. Considering seven chicks for every man there in DC (I read it in the Washington Post a few years ago), I was surprised to see only two chicks per dude in the club, which is however still a good deal if you ask me.

By design, it is created for those well versed in food, wine, music, and style. A Hybrid restaurant, lounge and bar on three separate levels (with an outdoor patio open year round). The restaurant/night club is suited for the casual connoisseur. Someone who enjoys the finer things in life without all the pomp, pretense, and political underpinnings of Washington DC elite society. In the last few months, it has become my #1 chill spot, where I take my friends when I want to show them a good time. Here is their 3 year anniversary Party I attended:
